dooerSat, 29 Oct 2011 00:00:11 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/hssports/?p=2742#comment-24650I’ve only followed the local HS football scene the last 10 years or so, but it seems like Milpitas often has perhaps the most exciting athlete in the CCS.

They use those guys like LG does their good running backs, get them the ball anyway they can.

Speaking of LG, I seem to remember that they had a pretty long streak of 1000 yd rushers. Is that still going on? Considering that I don’t know of any of those RB’s ever having much success beyond HS, that is quite a accomplishment.

Both teams always seem to bring that one special something to the game that the other team lacks. The last 4-5 years we have seen some very exciting games between these two teams.

Correct me if I am wrong but the 2 Milpitas wins in 08 & 09 were the only defeats Nick Hirshman had from the same QB at another school?

I have no favorite league to cheer for but it seems to me that Los Gatos has been the Qb factory by a landslide over any other CCS team. 2nd place isn’t even close. With that said, top coach has to be Ron Calcagno at SF., What does he have,10 or so D-1 titles ? Lots of successful coaches over the years but nobody even comes close to his record of success. I would even go as far as to call him the “Ladaceur’ of the CCS” Correct me if I’m wrong but I think RC even beat DLS once.

One thing I could never understand…..How in the world did Milpitas end up in the El Camino Division about 10 years ago?

Sorahan did sign w/ Cal…..and did nothing. Thus all the transferring. I rooted for him to do well as I did w/ Trent Edwards & Danny Sullivan. Read my post about what I said about Danny Sullivan. Tom Krug was a backup/clipboard holder behind Ron Pawlus @ ND. Yes, it was ND, but those teams in ’94 & ’95 were not good. His stats were 20-37-2-284 yds 3 td’s, mostly in mop up time. Kinda hollow to hang your hat on that. But it is what it is. A Major D1 program. I have always rooted for the local kids, even though I didn’t go to LG, I was raised there and knew TONS of people from there. Then & now. Played youth sports w/ alot of them. No DB, no San Jose City college for me. Try again. I do give coach Cattolico credit. He WILL pass Benny Pierce as the all time wins leader. A truly great feat. But the FACT of the matter is it was a trick play, the same one he ran against Wilcox in ’09. It was a great call, I never said it wasn’t. When LG is getting stuffed, coach Cattolico will reach in his bag of tricks. FACT! The execution was very good on both. When You play LG you have to be ready for those. Was the same when I played against them in high school, as it is now. I did see some of the Delta O’neal & Tab Perry games against LG. All I can say is WOW! That is one statement you will get no argument from me on.

justgowithitFri, 28 Oct 2011 16:18:55 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/hssports/?p=2742#comment-24625DB – The QB factory in the Bay Area are coaches Roger Theder (former CAL coach 1980) and Tom Martinez (former college of San mateo Coach after John Madden and Bill walsh). The majority of the QB’s in Northern CA who are being recruited every year have been trained by one of these two Coaches. Coach Cattalico sent all those QB’s you mentioned to Roger Theder for weekly training. The succesful QB’s who are committed attend these sessions weekly. Martinez was Tom Brady’s QB coach. The East bay Athletic league is the QB factory. This year they have three divison 1 players – Zak Kline Danville – CAL, Bart Houston De Lassale – Univ Wisconsin, Jeff Lockie Monte Vista – Oregon. All three of these QB have been trained by Theder. IN addition, there is a trend now where many succesful athletes are repeating 8th grade to give them that extra year in high school to mature. De Lassale is playing Danville tonight and it should be an exciting game…..

DodgerBlueFri, 28 Oct 2011 14:37:37 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/hssports/?p=2742#comment-24624MT- I’ll begin with the “clipboard holders” comment first. Sorahan signed with Cal, transferred to San Jose State, then to Foothill, and finally to Arkansas. Danny Sullivan was a STARTER for ASU. Tom Krug played for the almighty NOTRE DAME. So, you in your Leigh and San Jose City playin’ (King played at San Jose City, also) background know better than all of those coaches of the teams above. You won’t even give the Wizard his props by insisting a great call is no better than a “trick play”. And as for the pro style vs spread, I was correct when giving homage to a coach who I felt dominated with that system where they were at at the time (i.e. Krail, Pioneer, etc.). I believe King and his staff were as dominant as ever back then, beginning when O’neal was pulled up his sophomore year. Wish you would have seen the O’neal vs Shon Lewis matchup. It was speed city that night in Milpitas. Probably 7 td between the two.

If you think Ryan Sorahan was better than Nick Hirschman you don’t know football @ all. What about Mike Couchee??? Oh wait… you probably don’t know who he is. And he was a Wedemeyer guy anyway. Why didn’t you name him or Hirschman??? Quick look him up so you can have some inkling of who he is. Maybe I should instruct you on LG football, seeing as that is where I grew up & you only remember the clip-board holders. I do remember those games. Do you know coach King? I would say no. He is a close personal friend of mine. We played college football together & talk often. He started out as a pro style…18 years ago but have run the spread WAY more than pro style. So he is more spread than he ever was pro style. Was talking to him the other day about this very subject. He always ran versions of the spread with Deltha, Lenzie & others. He did the same with Brandon Carswell. Who, even though is a WR @ USC, was a QB @ Milpitas. He also played some WR. Putting his athletes in the best position to succeed. So your comment of “Master of their system” & Milpitas being a pro style is incorrect. If you want I can give you his # or you can come out to practice and be humiliated in person. Learning more about Milpitas history from you??? I have forgotten more about Milpitas football than you will ever know.

My logic???? Are you upset that I brought up Superbowl champs who WERE CCS qb’s and you brought up clip board holders who were nothing past high school? Man you are pathetic! Quit making my hometown look bad because of the idiotic comments you make!

I am sure coach Hansen is over the D2 title he may have lost on a trick play, because he has multiple Open titles & a state title. 2 things coach Cattolico will never get. How does that so called iconic play sheet look now?

DodgerBlueFri, 28 Oct 2011 04:53:47 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/hssports/?p=2742#comment-24606MT-saw your post after my addition of Nick Hirschman. Disagree that he is better than Sorahan. Remember when he so eloquently dismantled Milpitas and Tab Perry in 1999? As for Milpitas running a spread, get your facts straight. Coach King was not a spread guy originally. Don’t you remember Deltha O’neal and Lenzie Jackson. Milpitas was as dominant a force you could find running a pro style O. It wasn’t until Mr. Perry came around that King began to use the spread. By the way, Perry lined up at QB various times during his senior year so are we to consider him a “QB” also, according to your logic. If you are interested in learning more about Milpitas history I would be happy to assist you.
